Within the last thirty years, an increasing number of office workers and building residents complained of discomfort, fatigue, headache, allergic reactions and other health problems. The affected people had many and varied symptoms, but the cause was unknown. When the number of complaints grew, medical scientists began to search for the cause.
Because the workers or the residents are usually without or with milder symptoms when they are outside of a particular building or a particular room, it is clear that the office or the home has to take the blame.
